Its so amazing seeing Moo-rons like beaf still hanging in here when they should have hidden their faggo-tted faces in shame. The Gej they were are clamoring and vowing for with their lives has only succeeded in taking Nigeria 5 years backwards. God will judge you all. 'cus rather than coming out to speak the truth you have only decided to let meaningless sentiments play with your minds. by 2015 Gej will take Nigeria 20 years behind time because things would have so much deteriorated. |

though to be fair, I have to admit power has improved considerably in most parts in the last few months. There will, of course, be exceptions. Mark is probably referring to his home twn of otukpo, where, as I'm aware, the power situation is still poor. |

@Gbawe. You see how some clowns can be on a good day? When he walks on the street and a mad man or a drunkard whispers or churn out something that so and so thing happened and instead of thinking of it he foolishly accepts it and infect others. I wonder whether that nonsense blog is an authority. I also wonder if GEJ ever made such promise of handing off government's hand from the power sector under the leadership of Barth Nnaji by June 2011. That blog post is absolute rubbish. There was never a promise as such especially during the campaign. And you claim to know too much of west Africa when in fact you only visit their state capital. Go to other areas. And see how retarded they are. |

Sometimes I wonder what we want as a people. I've always thought of it. We say we need a strong leader, a good leader, a purpose driven leader, a fearless leader, a this leader and a that leader. But when one assumes that role we're too quick to cast stupid and unfair judgement on him. Because we're a special breed of impatient beings. I just tire. What are the factors or criteria for qualities of a leader as mentioned above? And if you know them can you say its high time this president packs up? I just tire for this country people. Especially those wey no even leave for we country dey contribute nonsense because them read one stupid blog post or the other. |

talknafree: I guess there's a solid reason why your use name is talknafree. As they say, na you get you maut, if you like leave for Ikorodu Road, molue go jam am pass! Gripe all you like, lie all you like, call black white and white black. . . How will that change a thing? The ordinary Nigerian is happilly reporting much improved electricity supply, but we have incurable liars like yourself and Gbawe trying to claim that the situation is fake. Who are you actually fooling? Dude, it is just yourselves. Every passing day, the likes of yourself and Gbawe, expose yourselves for the people hating, Nigeria hating hypocrites, liars, hyena's, vultures and vampires that you are. You fellows can continue living in your strange cuckoo land where your everyday realities are so defined by various hatreds and bigotries that when you open your mouths its like a madmans jambory. Lol I expect aliens like yourself and Gbawe to pack back to Ghana and leave our 9ja for us. We are slowly but surely making the super-human efforts needed to rearrange and refocus the tectonic plates that had hitherto been grinding a an epic path to a destiny of doom. We don't need you dishonest lazy louts that scream like hysterical six year old girls and go into mourning each time the country takes another progressive step. Dude, it isn't clever to keep spouting foolishness in the face of stark evidence. Electricity supply keeps improving with each passing week, because for the first time, we have a civilised govt that cares; not your "strong", "goliath", "military general" type that ra'ped your women and frog-jumped you in the presence of your kids before stealing the milk from your babies. Cry all you like, creature of the night. Nigerians are in the new and welcome era of [size=14pt]Fresh Air![/size] |

kaboninc: Men, what brand of weed are your smoking because your hallucinations are one of a kind. "STRONG, FEARLESS, etc. Are sure you are talking about Jonathan? Or maybe you meant to say Buhari? Because if you were describing Buhari with there qualities, I agree. But Jonathan , You really have to be smoking something to think those attributes describes Jonathan. If Nairaland can really be taken as a microcosm to analyse Nigeria, then we truly deserve the kind of leadership we've been getting. I weep for Nigeria. Buhari wept like a baby for Nigeria and people on this very forum were abusing him. O ma se o. And to the man BEAF, you are a total disgrace. Your evil will catch up with you. Whatever money you are collecting will a turn to a fountain of bitterness and disgrace for you. |

@Kaboninc Sometimes I wonder what we want as a people. I've always thought of it. We say we need a strong leader, a good leader, a purpose driven leader, a fearless leader, a this leader and a that leader. But when one assumes that role we're too quick to cast silly and unfair judgement on him. Because we're a special breed of impatient beings. I just tire.

Especially those wey no even leave for we country dey contribute nonsense because them read one silly blog post or the other. This is a public forum where everyone is entitled to their views and opinions. If you think that the facts presented by a poster is baseless, all you need to do is present your own facts to counter it. Your approach to this looks like you are letting emotions take over your reasoning. Anyone who comes out to be a leader should have it at the back of his/her mind that his every move will be scrutinized. It is one of the sacrifices that comes with the job. There is an adage that says "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". To add to that, "If you can stand the heat, then confidently reassure the populace that you can as their leader that you are. The former Japanese Prime Minister couldn't confidently reassure his people and the rest is history despite the fact that Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world. |

Mark is a discredited polician.Not somebody to be taken seriously. |

kaboninc: You must not know who you are talking to. You are the clown. Even your bosses(Beaf et al) are rubbished regularly and easily by my fact-based submissions so I don't know where you get off with your half-baked rants. Look below. Is businessday a good enough source for you or you want to carry on coming up with more silly excuses that highlight your lack of knowledge? The blog submission was just the quickest I could pull but the facts are all over the net if you are not only too intellectually lazy and dishonest to look. While at it , you might want to read the NL thread highlighted below. On it, a GEJ fan previously living abroad(Paddy Lo) , far smarter than you and many others, was 'creaming' over the power sector Privatisation plans of GEJ. Today, Paddy Lo , now living in Nigeria, highly regrets his support for GEJ. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-473678.0.html http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12395:private-sector-takes-full-control-of-electricity-june-2011-&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18 Private sector takes full control of electricity June 2011 |
Re: Power Improvement Talk Is A Ruse - David Mark by jmaine: 1:01pm On Oct 08, 2011 |
I Repeat . . . The power supply has improved spanning over a month now, and we just hope it improves rather than regress . . . .what Mark or anyone has to say to downplay this development, is just trying to gain cheap publicity by acting cynical . . . . |
Re: Power Improvement Talk Is A Ruse - David Mark by Beaf: 1:16pm On Oct 08, 2011 |
lanre_front: Strong and fearless, yet weeps like a baby? Some of you talk through your arseholes. Get used to it Buhari lost, he will lose his court case and continue losing. Stop being a bitter loser and allow objectivity into your mind. Electricty supply has strongly improved and continues to improve under GEJ, those who claim different from what everybody observes just seem like liars. Especially those like Gbawe who returned from a 12 day trip in Ghana only to notice that something "new" had started happening in Nigeria; power cuts had suddenly begun damaging equipment. Presumably, this was something new that Jonathan started. Buncha losers, whiners and badluck wishers. |

GEJ will say another thing entirely. We all Know him. Mark, i have removed one of the Bullets i will pump on your Head the day i meet you. |
Re: Power Improvement Talk Is A Ruse - David Mark by DaLover(m): 4:02pm On Oct 09, 2011 |
abeg, the problems are too much ooo, gej is trying, appearantly people prefer someone who goes around shouting and making noises like ribadu, gej is working, may not be getting it 100% but he is working hard to ensure that power improves, I have been to the power committee website to see their plans, they seem in the right direction, even gbawe submission on the june 2011 promice shows they are working a plan, a plan that includes privitisation and efforts to create conducive environments for potential investors, plans dont always follow the allotted timelines. So if the hatred of GEJ by people like Gbawe and kobojunkie will allow some objectivity they may be able to criticise gejs plans instead of his personnality. Then u may want to say any of the following, *the plan is faulty *they are not sticking to the plan *Not enuf creativity in getting investors. etc demanding that almost 40 years worth of damages should be resolved in 2 years is childish to say the list. Too often we relate strong leadership with vigorous actions and loud mouthness, like ribadu but after all the dust is cleared nothing really is achieved. for instance GEJ has shown strong leadership in handling the perennial fuel queues, as a first step, and now pushing for deregulation of the downstream sectors via removal of subsidies to allow private investors. if you say he is weak due to the sensitivity in handling the boko haram situation, would you say Obj is weak because ND militants brought him to his knees or fashola is weak becos Of the albatross tinubu, he has left hanging round his neck? dont hate the player guys, hate the game |
Re: Power Improvement Talk Is A Ruse - David Mark by Gbawe: 1:35pm On May 17, 2012 |
Fast forward May 2012 and David Mark is proven right that talk of power improvement is indeed a ruse. I don't know when it will sink into the heads of Nigerians that it is pointless celebrating periods when gas supply is optimal and when water levels are high as "achievements". Real achievement , for a Nation with capacitiy of 4000 MW when it needs upwards of 20,000 MW, would be an aggressive plan to privatise the sector and drastically improve generation, distribution and transmission. What we have is a President, only into "spin and spell", trying to claim traditional highs (optimal water level, optimal gas supply etc) as his achievement when, in reality, he has done nothing and has actually broken many promises made regarding the power sector. In fact the excuses of "cabals" and "sabotage" is now floating about these days. Anyway let the fans of GEJ continue to sabotage Nigeria. failing to call a spade a spade, because of blind support of mediocrity, is terrible - especially when it is the progress of a Nation at stake. What some forget, in their blind worship of GEJ, is that every Nigerian Government , since our current democratic journey began in 1999, has made promises it could not keep in the power sector mainly because we have been led by those who should not have become President because they are highly compromised and others exist who are far better than them. We criticised OBJ, Yar Adua and GEJ. Evidence is here on NL. Yet they will develop selective amnesia to begin saying we hate GEJ when it is clear it is the incompetence, cluelessness and mediocrity , letting the nation down, that we loathe. As if OBJ and Yar Adua were never criticised by the same Nairalander now criticising GEJ. Anyway, let us carry on suffering, smiling and making excuses for mediocrity. http://www.electricityforum.com/news/jan10/Nigeriansstillwaitingonelectricitypromise.html Nigerians still waiting on 6,000 MW promise |

Without no doubt and uttermost sincerity - Gej handling of affairs is woeful but the truth is i never expected anything much from a man who did not achieve much as vice/governor of a very rich Nigerian state. The leadership selection system is so skewed that men who would generally not qualify as local chairmen or councillors some how end up in the most important position of the nation. Lets hope 2015 comes quickly and we should genuinely look forward to real fresh air cause it can never be found in any PDP candidate. Seriously how hard is to fix the pathetic electricity situation in Nigeria? |
